    What does beating Spence do for Manny Pacquaio's overall standing?

    Manny is ranked right up there and will be nearly 43 at the time of the fight.
    Regardless who we feel wins between Spence and Crawford I am sure we can all agree Spence is a beast. He also dwarfs Manny.

    What (roughly) would such a win (And I do think given the circumstances it would be one of the biggest wins in history, I am serious) do for him and his already stacked resume?

    Top 10 ATG? Would that be unreasonable?

    I can't see him beating Spence but I'll be rooting for him.
    What a crazy little man taking such a fight at this stage.

      barrera, morales, chavez sr and other boxing legends already considered pac as the GOAT and if pac beat spence at the age of 43 where he is very old, past prime, part time boxer, full time senator and 2 years inactive i think he is the GOD of boxing.

        It just makes him better but if he gets starched by Spence it won't help him years from now. Manny needs to fight anyway to pay his taxes.

            If he beat Spence then it's bigger than Muhammad Ali - George Foreman upset. We all know that's the fight that made Ali the greatest ever.

              Absolutely not. You Manny fans go too far and us fight fans take it out on Manny instead of you guys lol.

              It would be a really good win for sure. It's not like Spence is seen as the undisputed best at 147.

                Pac beating Spence in any non controversial manner and it's huge !!!

                Spence is not ''green'' or damaged.
                He's young and also a lefty.

                Big assed W if he could pull it off.

                  Ali was great before he became Ali.

                  You won't find too many Brandon Rios types on his resume.

                    Absolutely huge win. Probably puts him in the top 10, top5 of all time. That would be an insane win at this stage in the game
